The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom finally puts the princess front and center, giving her the ability to conjure copies of anything from tables to tektites to help her on her journey. Despite the wealth of possibilities her summoned echoes present, some players had been worried that Echoes of Wisdom would feel like a step down from the infinite creativity unleashed by Tears of the Kingdom’s Zonai devices. Now that the game has been in players’ hands for a few days, some enterprising fans are putting those fears to bed, showing the wild range of expression afforded by Zelda’s newfound power.
It’s easy to get through Echoes of Wisdom only using a handful of particularly powerful echoes you earn early on. You can use beds to cross chasms from the beginning to the end of the game, and some of the most unassuming monsters out there make quick work of even the most fearsome foes. But as it turns out, the secret to success in Echoes of Wisdom isn’t just choosing your echoes wisely, but combining them in ways so bizarre even Nintendo probably didn’t count on them.
